This safety alert symbol indicates important safety messages in this manual. When you see this symbol, be alert to the possibility of personal injury and carefully read the message that follows.

The Rules of safe gun handling found in the Introduction to Air Rifle Shooting section of this manual (begins on Page 11) is an important guide to the care and safe handling of any gun. READ THIS SECTION. It is your responsibility as the owner of this gun to make certain that anyone using the gun is instructed in its safe and proper operation.

As the proud owner of a Daisy air gun, you have become part of an American tradition which dates back to the time when your great-grandfather was a small boy. Your new Daisy gun is the result of more than 100 years experience by Daisy in the manufacture of quality products.

Although your new Daisy is not a firearm, it is a gun and should be treated with care and respect. Always remember, the first and most important safety aspect of any gun is the shooter. All safeties are mechanical devices and the shooter is the only part of the system that can make a gun safe--or

FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS, READ COMPLETE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SHOOT GUN. Guns differ in their opera-

tions and you are never ready to fire any gun until you are thoroughly familiar with it. Read the operating instructions

WITHOUT LOADING ANY AMMUNITION, proceed sev-

and eral times through the operating steps with your gun (dry fire the gun at a safe target) so that you will be able to operate the Model 840/841/845 properly and safely.

STEP 3. PUMP ONE TIME

IMPORTANT: Do

not pump mor than one time. May cause serious damage to your gun. This gun was designed and intended as a single pump. For greater safety, we recommend that the bolt remain open while pumping, and that you close the bolt only when the barrel can be pointed in a safe direction. Grasp the forearm at rear and pull down and forward as far as possible, then return forearm to original closed position. (Fig. 4)

CAUTION: Be sur

IMPORTANT: Care

must be exercised when

shooting pellets while the magazine contains BBs. Loading a BB and pellet at the same time may result in a jammed or obstructed barrel.

IMPORTANT: Do not allow a pellet to fall into the rear of

the feed track and become jammed in the BB feed hole. If this occurs, have a qualified gunsmith remove the left receiver and clear the feed track, or return the gun to Daisy. DO NOT load pellets in the BB loading door.

STEP 5. CLOSE BOLT

CAUTION: Gun must always be pointed in a safe

direction.

Push bolt handle forward. The gun is now loaded and should

be handled with care.

CAUTION: Always view the BB or pellet when clos-

ing the bolt and loading port.

STEP 6. AIM AT SAFE TARGET

CAUTION: Pick targets with a backstop that cannot

be penetrated and that will not cause a ricochet because of their hard surface. Do not shoot at water. Never point a gun, loaded or unloaded, at anyone.

To be a consistent marksman, use the correct sight picture

each time you fire the gun. (Fig. 8)

The Model 840/841 is equipped with a rear sight that is adjustable for elevation. Raise the rear sight to make the gun shoot higher. Lower the rear sight to make the gun shoot lower. (Fig. 9)

STEP 7. TAKE “OFF” TRIGGER SAFETY

When you are certain the target, backstop and surrounding area is safe, push the trigger safety from right to left until red band is exposed. (Fig. 10)

STEP 8. FIRE

After completing the operation steps, your gun may be fired by gently, but firmly, squeezing the trigger. NOTE: The bolt must be completely closed, as indicated in Step 5. IMPOR-

UNLOAD PELLET

The bolt does not extract a pellet. You must put the trigger safety “ON”, pull the bolt back, insert a cleaning rod in the muzzle end of the gun and push the pellet out. Be careful not to damage the bolt tip by pushing the rod through too hard.

AMMUNITION

Use only BBs or .177 cal. (4.5mm) pellets that are labeled as such. DO NOT use buckshot, ball bearings, or other foreign objects, as they could damage or jam your gun.

Daisy recommends lead-free pellets for shooters 12 years

of age or under.

PROPER CARE

The exposed metal parts (barrel, lever, screwheads, etc.) should occasionally be wiped clean, using a soft cloth lightly oiled with clean motor oil. Use a 10, 20, or 30 weight non-detergent automotive motor oil. DO NOT use light, household-type oils or aerosol-type spray lubricants, since they may contain substances or additives harmful to the rubber seals or other components.

The pump piston has a felt wiper ring that should occasionally be oiled. Invert the gun and fully open the forearm lever. You will see “Oil Here” and an arrow pointing to the felt wiper which can be seen through a slot in the forward end of the pump tube. Add two drops of oil to the felt wiper after each 2,000 shots.

The forearm lever pivot joints should be sparingly lubricated by

occasionally adding one drop of oil to each pivot pin. (Fig. 11)

STORAGE

Unload ammunition and store it in a separate place from the gun to keep away from untrained shooters. Before putting thegun away in a cabinet or gun rack, shoot the gun at a safe target to make sure the pump system and barrel are empty. Then, put “ON” trigger safety. Always make sure the gun isempty and the trigger safety “ON” before storage; also, the gun should be clean, dry and oiled.

An Introduction to

Daisy

A MESSAGE TO PARENTS

Although not a firearm, a Daisy airgun is a gun and not a toy. Properly used and maintained, it will provide many hours of safe, trouble free recreational shooting. Misused, it can be dangerous. Therefore, we recommend it be used only under adult supervision and never by a young person less than ten years of age. Included in this operation manual are 10 Shooting Safety Rules. We urge you to read them with your child, practice them and review them often.

As the proud owner of a new Daisy gun, your child has become part of an American tradition dating back more than 100 years. Mechanically, a new Daisy is backed by nearly a century of engineering know-how and experience in the manufacture of quality products.

Safe gun handling depends upon proper safety training, and instilling in your son or daughter the right attitude toward gun ownership. To help you, we have designed this booklet to cover the basic facts every young person should understand before shooting a gun. Take time to study it thoroughly with your child. A proper understanding of these basics will greatly increase your youngster's enjoyment of the lifetime sport of recreational air gun shooting and, at the same time, give you the satisfaction of knowing your child is properly prepared to handle an air gun.

We strongly urge a formal course of instruction in Shooting Education for your child. There are a number of youth and civic organizations which offer a complete 10-lesson course based on guidelines developed by the training experts at Daisy, and they are listed in the section “Learn to shoot safely” on page 16 of this book. A quick check with them will let you know when the next course will be starting in your area. If you would like more detailed information, write: Special Market Programs, Daisy, P.O. Box 220, Rogers, Arkansas 72757.

GETTING STAR

First, you should know that your Daisy is not a toy. It's a gun. If you use it carefully, it will provide many years of enjoyment. But, if you aren't careful, it can be dangerous.

Second, read this book. In conjunction with the Operation Manual, it tells you how to handle your new BB gun properly and how to have the most fun with it. Read it carefully with a parent and make sure you all understand it. Then, put what you've learned into practice. And remember, it's your responsibility as a gun owner to make certain that anyone using it is instructed in the rules of proper gun handling.

SAFE GUN HANDLING IS THE KEY TO SHOOTING FUN

If you understand that "HANDLING" your gun means every time you touch it, and if you remember always to handle a gun as if it were loaded, then you are well on your way to proper gun handling. A majority of air gun accidents in this country are caused by 1) careless and improper handling of the gun, 2) believing the gun to be empty when it isn't, or 3) shooting at improper targets. All three causes can be avoided if the shooter handles the gun properly.

For years we have been teaching the 10 Shooting Safety Rules. Read, remember, practice and review these few simple rules. They will help you enjoy many hours of safe, fun, r ational shooting.
